Rosh Hashanah Snacks: Sardine Rillettes

The definition of the word "rillettes" is a pâté of sorts, or a spread, made with minced pork or meat. You usually see duck or pork rillettes on the menu in France, so I liked this idea of sardine rillettes to make at home.

This is nothing fancy, more like an interesting tuna salad, if you ask me.Dorie Greenspan has a recipe for sardine rillettes in her cookbook, however I adapted this one from Alain Ducasse. He uses butter along with Dijon mustard.

My addition was a drizzle of balsamic syrup, which makes everything better!

This is really nice for lunch with a salad, or makes an elegant appetizer for a party with wine.
